    The government of Venezuela is trying to serve it’s people? One of the most corrupt governments in the world?

    Source: Eagle Freedom Burger institute. The US is literally bombing civilians off the coasts of Venezuela, and your main concern with the country is "corruption, as measured by whom exactly. I hate American exceptionalism.

      It’s on wikipedia but sure.

      “While corruption is not a new phenomenon in Venezuela, it has dramatically worsened with the Chávez and Maduro regimes. In recent years, Venezuela has been ranked as one of the most corrupt countries globally by international indices, and has played a major role in the economic collapse and broader crisis in Venezuela”

      your main concern with the country is "corruption, as measured by whom exactly

      I’m merely replying to your previous comment, but maybe reading what you’re responding to is difficult, much easier to move goalposts

      The fact is that as soon as a government tries to rule itself to serve its people instead of western capitalists

      I’ve highlighted the pertinent part of your previous comment

        The sources to your Wikipedia article:

        Transparency International. From the article: “Members in the chat group included chief prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol as well as the head of TI Brazil. The chat group included posts on a “backstage campaign” to “disarm resistance on the left”, fund selected candidates, and target others, seen as adversaries, using social media. Plans extended to preparing a series of false accusations (“denúncias sem materialidade”) intended to damage the reputation of former president and potential candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva”.

        This is exactly what I mean by Freedom Eagle Burger Institute: western institutions with political motives fabricating false information in order to punish leaders in anti-imperialist countries.
